Congrats on the longevity of your ride and Maggie. How does the coolant look at this point in the reservoir? I'd pull the lower hose going to the front heat exchanger in front of the radiator. Should be two hoses there, now what I always did for the reservoir is to use a turkey baster and suck the coolant out of the reservoir. Do that first and then you won't have that drain down and out the hose you pull off the heat exchanger. Once you get everything drained use a different color coolant so if you ever have a leak you'll know if its the Maggie or the coolant from your GM system. You won't be able to get all the coolant out of the Magnuson system as there will still be some in the heat exchanger and the blower bricks inside the 2300.
